lolol i'm not throwing down, but I have recording on video of at least three times you exclaiming "you have sooo much more torque than I do" while riding in my car... and that was on my low boost setting.

G, I genuinely lol'd at your post.

Richard, if you want to go through the hassle of installing the absurdflow goodies you're welcome to play with them for a bit... if i decide to sit on them. Otherwise they'll be for the sales. Which makes me sadpanda but ALLTHEDECISIONS are YETTOBEMADE.

Interesting situation. I just dropped a bundle on the RB header. I like my Rotrex, and honestly the car has been underboost for what it should have been running. I think I've fixed that. With the misc upgrades I would not be surprised at 250 whp, but it might come out to 230.

The only thing that bugs me is that turbo miatas driven hard need resbond, inconel studs, and safety wire. I drive hard. For me to turbo my car and have peace of mind I need to do those three things. For me to continue to rotrex my car, I need to do none of those things. So while the go faster part of me says "Yessssss, the absurdflow, it is precioussss, you must have it" the rest of me says roll with what I have and minimize worries.

So unless you're going to sell me your whole absurdflow setup for a grand, I'm not interested (very). But your turbo is big enough to support my 8k redline ... so talk to me before posting it, if you decide to post it. Personally, I'd hang onto it and run it 2016, since it's paid for, and run my 01 header/midpipe for 2015. But if you feel the need to release it to the masses talk to me first.

The problem here is I have realized after having tracked a miata for years that I am a ***** for power. I totally believe in skill and grip. But damn, power, there's nothing else like it. And sphincter-clenching grip-destroying crash-inducing boost onset may not be faster on track, but it sounds fun.

Edit: and WHAT are the ******* ODDS that not one, both both of my kegs blow during this post. GODDDAMMIT.

I just need to get the shell and finish the partout and determine final health of engine and cost of rebuild. You all know I want trubo as much as the next guy. If I buy another turbo though, it'd be an EFR.... no sense in mucking about. Though I'd consider a GTX if it bolts in easier.

But all that is just talk. I don't know my car. I need to learn to drive. I want a simpler car. I'm afeared of the 10AE business since OBD2 and all that. But I overcame that once and I can do it again.
